    If I have a TS and RAS, wouldn't I be better suited getting a good quality freud or other ripping blade on the TS, and keeping my 60T Dewault on my RAS? I currently have a 50T freud on the TS, and ripping HW seems to give it more trouble than it should...

    Or would I still be better off getting the WWII?

    If not, then is there a thin kerf frued ripping blade someone would recomend? my other blades are TK.

        The LU87 is on sale for ~ $28 shipped...nice blade...TK. I'd definitely put it on the TS and rip with that. Keep the 50T for general purp stuff.

            I looked for that at Amazon, but I couldn't find that or any TK ripping blade...

              FWIW, on my miter saw I'm using a Freud TK806 10" 80-Tooth Ultra Fine Crosscut Blade and get excellent results!

                Here's one that's new. I haven't given it a direct spin yet, but Messmaker is reporting good results from his DW7150PT which is from the same series, and I've gotten great results from my series 40 DW7124TK....for ~ $20 shipped, it might be worth a shot. The most obvious difference between this and the LU87 is the tooth grind. The DW is an FTG, which is a bit more efficient. The LU87 is an ATB, which is a bit cleaner cutting.

                Let us know if you give the DW a try.
